Health Canada "most likely liable for criminal offences," vaccine injury inquiry counsel says
Vaccine injured have received just $20 million, and Health Canada kept its own Pfizer SV40 review secret for three years while unequivocally clinging to the “safe and effective” marketing mantra.
Conservative MP Dean Allison went to Parliament Hill today with a straight forward question for Ottawa.
At a news conference giving an update on the inquiry into injuries attributed to COVID-19 vaccines, Allison contrasted the nearly $2 billion provided to victims of Canada’s tainted blood scandal with what is being given to vaccine injury victims: “Compare that to the miniscule amount of $20 million that our vaccine injured have received so far, which raises an important question today. Have we learned anything from our past mistakes?”

He also took aim at the institutional secrecy surrounding access to information documentation that has kept Canadians in the dark, and he didn't spare his own party. "Previous governments, including Conservative governments, have also a responsibility to ensure that Canada's access to information system works," Allison said. "Transparency should never depend on which political party is in power."

Inquiry counsel Shawn Buckley went further. He said that Health Canada is most likely liable for criminal offences. He also called on the department to explain why COVID-19 vaccines are the only drugs on the market exempted from having to prove safety and efficacy.

The timing is important, given that just yesterday, I reported how much work it took to pry one record out of Health Canada.
In August 2023, Health Canada asked Pfizer to remove the undisclosed SV40 promoter-enhancer sequence from its COVID-19 shot. An internal note recorded the result: "as expected, Pfizer didn't commit." Weeks later, the regulator approved Pfizer's XBB booster anyway.

Health Canada's own review confirmed the sequence was undisclosed, unexpected and unnecessary. Getting that record took three years, two Information Commissioner files and a Federal Court application by independent researcher Scoops McGoo. Even then, the court noted on October 6 that Health Canada's release was incomplete, yet the department faced no penalty for its failure to comply.

The section on residual DNA size distribution, the one number that could settle the safety argument, is still blacked out as confidential business information.
When Rebel News put questions to Health Canada, the Health Minister's office, NACI, Pfizer Canada, the Privy Council Office and Justice Canada, all that was received were deflections, two automatic acknowledgements and silence.
That is exactly the system Allison and Buckley describe: a regulator that answers to no one, and access to information that only works when the government feels like it.
More than eight in ten Canadians took at least one shot, many under federal mandates and threats to their livelihoods. Those who were harmed have received a total of $20 million, and the regulator still won't release its own data.
Canadians were promised "safe and effective,” but what they got instead was redactions, red tape and a pittance.
